Legendary Live auction LOT#6 & t206

Fire that printer! or whoever approved it, brutal, well don't fire them but you get my point, couldn't read most of it, so tossed it as well. Worst catalog I've rec'd from any auction house to date.

I wholeheartedly agree with all of you guys who are complaining about the poor print quality or "hard to read-didness" (sorry, I'm making up my own words here) of the catalog. I'm a 44 year old with 20-20 vision, have never worn nor needed glasses, contacts or a loupe, yet I abhor their choice of a tiny, thin white print on some of these dark colored backgrounds; on some pages/colors its not too bad and is legible but on others its just downright horrific!! The first time I saw the word "Ruth" in the description of one of the many Babe Ruth-related lots I thought they spelled his name wrong and it said "Puth" but I soon realized it did indeed say "Ruth": it only looked like "Puth" because the diagonal line that turns a P into an R was barely visible; it wasnt until I saw his name mentioned again later in the description that I realized it wasnt a spelling error but rather a font/color problem as most of the capital R's in the catalog look like P's; if they used the bold white print that is on page 60 throughout the entire catalog there wouldnt be any problem.

And this isnt the first time one of their catalogs has had this problem; at least one or more of their dreier collection catalogs had the same almost-illegible white print; if you still have them, take a look at one of those and you'll see what I mean!

Thanks for pointing out our error. The modification/clarification below was recently posted on the site. Additionally, we decided not to include cards in our offering this year. It is our opinion that other than high profile cards like T206 Wagner and the like mainstream Cards do not perform as well in a Live Auction format. Last year when we reduced our offering to 63 lots we did include a few card lots like a T205 and T206 set but this year chose to stick to memorabilia. As always if anyone has questions I can be reached at dallen@legendaryauctions.com.

PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY OF THE IMAGES USED FOR THIS PHOTO ARE THE SAME IMAGES USED FOR THE SAME SUBJECTS IN THE T206 SET. THIS INCLUDES HOFers: MATHEWSON, MCGRAW, BRESNAHAN AND MARQUARD. IN ERROR WE TIED THESE IMAGES TO FAMED PHOTOGRAPHER CARL HORNER WHO ALBEIT A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR MANY SUBJECTS OF THE T206 SET WAS NOT THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THIS DISPLAY. WE HAVE DONE SIGNIFICAN RESEARCH BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CONFIRM IF THE "J HALL" REFERRED TO ON THIS PIECE IS THE FAMOUS JOSEPH HALL WHO STILL HAD AN ACTIVE STUDIO AT THIS TIME.
